Free email-hosting with own domain using Zoho Mail

I host my website (kwik.se) on Netlify with their free tier - as most of us do. For hosting my custom e-mail (@kwik.se), I use Zoho's free-forever tier.

Your domain provider might want to upsell you web-hosting and e-mail hosting, but there are free alternatives out there. As mentioned: Netlify is a great choice for hosting your projects, and Zoho handles e-mails just fine.

You then have to access and change your DNS-records - available on your accounts-page at your domain provider (one.com, for example). These DNS-records will need to your custom domain toward the hosting provider you want to use. Zoho guides you step-by-step through this process, and it is basically a copy-paste job adding 4-5 MX and TXT rows to your DNS-record.

Zoho allows five (5) e-mail aliases to receive and send e-mails from, meaning that you can have your info@, name@, contact@, no-reply@ and order@ looking like a professional.

Your e-mail can be accessed via the browser (https://mail.zoho.eu) or by their own Zoho Mail-app.
